Speak For Health

When we #SpeakForHealth, we make a difference

A public health system that is fully funded and fully trained improves everyone’s health.

Now is your chance to take action. Join us as we #SpeakForHealth:

Step 1: Create your post

Create your #SpeakForHealth post on social media. Print this sign (PDF) and take a photo, and explain in your post why you support public health and why our efforts can’t be silenced. Use the hashtag #SpeakForHealth.

Feel free to use our sample posts:

I #SpeakForHealth because I won’t stay silent as science is attacked. Public health needs to be free of political interference and remain evidence-based and grounded in science. http://bit.ly/2B8HAV8

Public health cannot be silenced. I #SpeakForHealth because health care is a human right, and we need a fully funded public health system. http://bit.ly/2B8HAV8

I want us to be the healthiest nation in one generation, so I #SpeakForHealth. I told Congress to fully fund the CDC and other health agencies, and you should too: http://bit.ly/2BLH2IA

Sign our pledge to become the healthiest nation in one generation. You'll receive updates on major APHA activities and alerts about opportunities to take action on public health priorities.

Step 4: Consider a donation to APHA

APHA champions the health of all people and all communities. Join our movement to create the healthiest nation in one generation. Your tax-deductible donation helps fund APHA’s year-round advocacy for policy changes that improve health.
